financial crypto - like conferences

2000-02-08 Thread Arrianto Mukti Wibowo

Hi...

I need to know, whether any of you know any other financial-crypto-like
international conferences at the second half of this year. I want to submit
several of my papers, and I can't wait for FC 2001. The conference need not
to be very theorethical or very prestigious, preferably a little bit
'applicative', as long as the submission deadline has not passed yet :-)

Thanx,

Yet Another Most Secure And Encrypted Service

2000-02-08 Thread Ed Gerck


List:

Looks like superlatives in security are not a sparse commodity,
from "super" to "supra" to "most" secure is all an easy question
of how many bits one has, or so it still seems in this YAMSAES:

 Supra Secure Mail (SSM), the highest encryption technology available.

 SSM technology provides the most secure and encrypted Email service transaction 
technology in
the world. This breakthrough developed exclusively by SupraNet AG will quickly become 
the most
accepted encryption standard for business to business (B2B) communication and safe 
financial
transactions. The protocol for security gives the user the ability to have 448 bit key 
which exceeds
any available encryption in the world. It is the first  key with over 400 bit 
encryption technology
which is a worldwide milestone in the development of security and  privacy software 
compared to
the current standard of 128 to 256 bit keys.

To set the record once and for all, we should create the (n+1)-key -- recursively 
defined as a key
which has always one bit more than the highest bit of any key in existence, even of 
itself.  Without
any regard, of course, to the protocol it uses.

Cheers,

Ed Gerck

USENIX Security Symposium
August 14-17 in Denver
submission deadline is Thursday of this week
 http://www.usenix.org/events/sec2000
or, more specifically,
 http://www.usenix.org/events/sec2000/cfp/how_to_submit.html

I am an officer of the organization and board liason 
for this conference.  The audience here is, without doubt,
the most engineeringly intense you are likely to find in
a venue of scientific merit and commercial applicability.
Expect keen competition should you choose to submit.

MPAA DeCSS Demand

2000-02-08 Thread John Young

Cryptome got a demand letter yesterday from the MPAA Anti-Piracy
Unit to remove DeCSS as well as to immediately perform other 
unnatural acts:

A number of responses to the letter have come in which
might be of interest here:

   http://cryptome.org/dvd-mpaa-ccd2.htm

One item we've added to the package is a message from the 
Copy Protection Technical Working Group, an MPAA related 
org, which lists dozens of subscribers to its mail list, including 
familiar cryptographers, attorneys and other faithful servants 
from the world's most cartel-ic .coms, .edus and .orgs.
